I was born 25 miles from Salina, in McPherson. I've eaten at the Hickory Hut many many times. It started out as just a little piece of shit mobile home selling BBQ sammiches in the 80's. But the BBQ was decent. It got a lot better as time went on, but even after all these years it would still be pretty far down the list compared to KC places. It's still there, I ate there last summer, and still drive by it pretty frequently.

I liked it just fine. Thought it was as good as Gates and Zarda. I guess there is no accounting for taste, huh? Thanks for chiming in.
